Description
Working in the harsh conditions in working place and other risk factors, including wearing PPE, puts healthcare workers at risk for heatārelated illnesses.
Harsh Conditions at the Worksite
⢠Length of work shift: ā Shorter work shifts may not be possible where PPE supplies are limited. ā Shift length is also affected by the large workloads and a limited number of workers. ⢠Limited electrical power: ā Airāconditioning and fans may not be available. ⢠Limited access to electrolyte replacement fluids. ⢠Other illnesses: ā Contaminated food or water can result in severe vomiting and diarrhea, which can lead to fluid loss and dehydration, increasing the risk of developing a heatārelated illness. ⢠Limited or no medical oversight for healthcare workers while in the rest area. ⢠Limited number of healthcare workers: ā Only 2 days to adjust to working in a hot, humid environment before starting to work with patients.Course Curriculum
